So, is there any kind of penalty for wielding The Silver Hand but using a shield instead of this off-hand? Will the artifact's "talents" still work?

I'm curious because I play Holy in PvP, and it's comforting to have a shield.

Edit: I see it's been updated to be a shield, paired with a 2-handed mace. Interesting! I feel better having the extra armor from the shield, however it works.

This is the companion "off hand" (now a shield!) for Mano de Plata, together making the Artifact set for Holy Paladíns.

Nothing seems to be known about this tome, but it is likely a holy Libram for the Silver Hand. A litttle is known about the associated weapon, Mano de Plata, which was wielded by Keeper Tyr, a titanic watcher.

You can view the Trait Calculator page for this Artifact weapon set, here.

Edit: Seems they've changed it to a shield!Edit again: Seems they may have changed it to a cosmetic item and given the weapon a flat armor increase to compensate?

I'm actually kind of annoyed that it is all about the silver hand anyways, I am a Blood Knight, I would never wield the silver hands equipment.

It appears at some point they changed it from "Off-Hand" to "Shield" with (currently) 831 armor. It still looks like a libram though.

This is kind of in response to mrgummage's comment below but i wanted to see other's opinions and not overload that post.

Currently the dressing room here on wowhead has the libram sheathing on the hip while the hammer is on the back. I really hope that is where it would stay as I would love it to be visible even when sheathed. My only concern is if it is classified as a shield would this prevent that sheath anchor?

I'd love if they changed the casting animation to your character holding the hammer high and chanting what he reads on the open libram, like true Warcraft paladins

As of this current moment in time (Late February, 2016), Mano de Plata is a two handed mace. It also cosmetically shows this Libram on your hip whilst it is equipped. Judging by that, it's pretty safe to assume that this Libram, as a seperate item, is not going to exist.

Personally I'm sad about losing the shield...

Comentario de Tremed

The description reads "Of Blood and Honor." which is a book written by Chris Metzen. It is pretty much a story of Tirion Fordring and Eitrigg an orc. While skipping the long story of his adventures, flavor text probably refers to words that are often found on the cover of religious tomes in the world of Azeroth; and it could probably be assume that the Tome was the one Tirion carried.

If you want to assume things.

Esarus thar no'Darador -- by Blood and Honor we serve.

Comentario de Nirron

"Esarus thar no'Darador" translates into "By Blood and Honor We Serve". From the book "Of Blood and Honor" by Chris Metzen.

Will one be able to Transmog this to an Off-Hand frill or must it be Transmogged to other Shields? I'd much prefer a smaller book to be strapped to my Paladin's waist, like Tome of Divine Right

Comentario de Xzenowulf

shame this was changed to a cosmetic item attached to the belt.. i was looking forward to some awesome 2h hammer + shield transmogs (hammer of naaru + shield of argus, as an example) but, alas... tis not meant to be. maybe one day we'll have a 2h+shield class (*cough*diablo3crusader*cough*)

Comentario de Maelchav

It seems the cosmetic book/shield disappears if you transmog the weapon.

I had hoped to be able to transmog the Silver Hand to look like Lionheart Executioner, and transmog the "shield" to look like King's Bulwark for a lion theme (even though my paladin is a blood elf - that's just how I roll). When I found that you can't transmog the off-hand at all I thought I'd go with the fourth tint of the "Watcher's Armament" appearance just for the book, while still transmogging the hammer... but when you transmog the Silver Hand, the libram disappears.
